Enabling a Link

Use this task to enable a link.

When a Link is put in the Enabled administrative state, the MP Server begins attempts to bring the Link to the ASP-ACTIVE state on an active MP Server or the ASP-INACTIVE state on a standby MP Server.

Links must be enabled one Link at a time.

1. Click SS7/Sigtran > Maintenance > Links.
2. Check the Pause updates box to stop the 15 second auto refresh for the page (lower right corner).
   It is unchecked by default.
3. Select the Link and click Enable.

   The MP Server disregards the command if the Link is already in the selected administrative state.

   If the link you wish to enable is missing or displayed in gray text, it indicates a management network problem between the MP Server and the SOAM server from which your GUI session is hosted.

   A confirmation message appears.

4. Click OK to confirm.

   The Operational Status field shows Up. The Up/Down Since column now indicates when the Link transitioned into the Up status. The Enable action is now grayed out.
